Double Wedding Ring

It happened much on Friday. First I had to register. Next to find the classroom where my class was to be held. I was so lucky to participate Marti Michell’s class where she tought the Double Wedding Ring. We used templates she has designed herself. She was an inspiring teacher and tought us some trics to make the ring smooth together.

When the class was finished I had to visit the shop area. However, it was so crowded as it use to be but I found a few fabrics which I bought. Here they are:

In the evening it was time for the usual evening meal with a very nice performance by Marti Michell where she talked about her works and showed many of them live. She told us she doesn’t like to .do slide shows. Instead she brought a three suitcases with lovely quilts from the USA. I took many photographs and will show some of them here:

Bergen and the annual meeting in the NQF

Each year the NQF has their annual meeting in different places in Norway. This year we meet in Bergen in the western part of the country. I went by train this time because the conditions for crossing the mountains by car at this time of the year can be a dangerous drive and it takes a lot of time. It is easier and much more relaxing to go by train. I read, talked with a nice woman in the seat next to me, had  lunch, coffee, listen to music and enjoyed the travel.

I stay at the Radisson Blue Hotel in the very city centre. It is where the exhibitions, the classes, the annual meeting and everything else are going on. I am really excited for the rest of this weekend. I have already packed out my stuff with quilting gears, cutting mats, rulers and things like that. This is my room at the hotel.
